This will have to be a brief one. Due to my knackering myself with the hobbling to the doctors yesterday and this morning: Liberty-Global Virgin Media Internet kept going down, and I still had yesterdays blog to get done. Nicodemus's Neurotransmitters kept failing on me, so it was also the most frustrating day ever, with so many mistakes and errors, forever having to correct things. I'm scunnered, shirty, tired, disgruntled, brassed off, and feeling lugubriously depressed!
I've only just got around to starting this one going (16:00hrs). So it looks like another late night for me then.

Woke
Stirred at 05:30hrs: No wee-wee required. No tea or brekkie, straight on the computer to make a start on this blog! Realising that was going to be a mammoth task to get done, with the post being so long after the marathon walk to the doctors in Carrington and two buses back yesterday.

07:00hrs: Stopped to make a brew of Glengettie. On my way to the kitchen, 👎 I stubbed my toe against the edge of the floor cabinet. 👎Then, Dropped the kettle, which miraculously did not break, 👎 clouted my elbow on the open cupboard door picking up the kettle. Rinsed and refilled it, plugged it in, and it worked! Made the tea and left it to brew, whilst IO made some waste bags and took them to the box.
👎 Forgot all about the tea, and I returned to the computer. Pressed on regardless and oblivious of the going cold mug of tea!

Summoned to the Porcelain Throne
Bit of a farce, really. Got settled, and spent Gawd knows how long was crosswording. The tummy contents felt like concrete as I did my best to encourage things along. I gave up in the end, back to the computer.

Carer Jill Appeared in the Room
She got the medications and questions done. And then, bless her cotton socks, she got onto the phone other doctors surgery for me. To change the date of the telephone call about memory problems. When they gave me the paper, I realised that it was the dreaded flat declutters day to call.
Jill had to ring back and then was eighth in the waiting queue. She sorted it all out and made sure I'd got the changed date on my calendar. Which made her a little late for her next client - Oh, dearie me! I dread to think what the call is going to cost me. I thanked her, and she took some bits down to the buy-cheap table in Winwood. I'd be lost without Jillie's help. ♥

Porcelain Throne Attended Again
Again, I sat sitting, and with a determined, gritty resolution, I intended to get the evacuation started. It was damned painful, messy, and bloody, but finally, I got it moving. I think it took about ten more minutes to get it all out. What a relief!
Then the cleaning things and I were not pain-free and took up even more of my precious blogging time.
Moved on to the medicationalisationing. I'll just say, 'Argh!' - that'll get the message.

Washed a Shirt (Exciting stuff this, innit?)
Awaiting Evening Carer
Made a mug of tea, Glengettie Gold, this time. An excellent brew, my favourites are:
Glengettie: Strong (Too strong for most palettes)
Thompsons Punjana: Strong, slightly less crude than Glengettie.
Glengettie Gold: Strong but smooth with it.
Co-op 99: More dust than leaves and seems to leave a dry taste in the mouth.
Which is the best? It changes every day.

Made up some more waste bags and got them in the box with the others.

Carer Julia Arrived
Bless her, she'd been to fetch my prescriptions today, in her own time. No one got the message from Jill about me having already collected them. What with no one telling Valerie about reminding me of the appointment, or not to take a Furosemide tablet either, yesterday. Communication is not Medirdians strong point. Julia got the medications sorted for me. We had a mini-natter and a few laughs. ♥ Then she had to shoot off, around 19:40hrs.

I'm fed-up with bad luck, although mostly benign,
I'm feeling better now, and that's without wine,
But, the Thought Storms rattle on like a turbine,
I'm forever hobbling, to free some more urine,
Of getting old, they say it's a sign,
The hopes are dashed, to defeat I resign,
Virgin Media internet more off than online,
The stomach grows more and more elephantine,
My faith, future and hopes begin to dwine,
Should I search belatedly for a partner, a Valentine?
Better get some more phentolamine!
